Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Mon 28 Jun or Tue 29 Jun in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Mon 28 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 29 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:48. Ekadashi: 08:48 to 06:19 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:19; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:48 Mon to 06:19.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:48 on Mon 28 Jun, after that sunrise (06:31), and ends at 06:19 on Tue 29 Jun, before the next (06:32 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 28 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 28 Jun arunodaya (04:55–06:31) is Dashami. On Tue 29 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:19, then Dwadashi): Tue 29 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Tue 29 Jun, 11:33–21:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:19 on Tue 29 Jun to 03:16 on Wed 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:32, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Wed 30 Jun, 06:32–21:34 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:16 on Wed 30 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:56): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:32, to sunset, 21:34, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
